Charles the cat apparently has a nose for adventure, but he’s currently keeping mum about how he managed to travel 1300 miles from his home in Albuquerque New Mexico to Chicago.
Charles disappeared eight months ago when his owner was out of town and a friend was caring for him while Robin Alex, volunteered with Habitat for Humanity in New Orleans.
According to the Associated Press, the Chicago Animal Care Control picked up Charles, who had been micro chipped. A quick telephone call to Alex let her know Charles had been found safe and sound.
However, Alex couldn’t afford the round trip airfare to bring Charles home, but another Albuquerque resident, Lucien Sims heard about Charles’ story and just happened to be on his way to Chicago for a wedding and offered to pick him up and bring him home from the Chicago shelter.
Sims personally organized all of Charles’ return flight arrangements. He managed to get a company to donate a cat carrier and American Airlines agreed to provide Charles with a free flight.
Charles is now safely back home in New Mexico.
